"Une étrange demoiselle" ("An Odd Young Lady") A musical and theatrical solo from the land of the mermaids, “Une étrange demoiselle,” tells the story of a mermaid whose fins are caught in the folds of memory. This mermaid moves between a kitschy, Disney character to a seductive woman with echoes of the sulphurous creatures who tried to allure Ulysses. She is a mermaid revolted by the idea of being reduced to just a pretty doll with a fish tail and beautiful 'pure' voice — a voice which actually deprives her of speach. Animality spouts from her indignation. From one transformation to another, she represents a range of the feminine, from /?something to something?/ even including a dragon.

Metamorphosis, depression, rage, sadness, ecstasy, “An Odd Young Lady” shows the interior turbulence of a woman searching for herself.
Directed by Enrique Pardo, Maryline Guitton serves the images and ideas with her voice, body, and soul. The decor alternates between kitsch and the sacred as this show tries to create a bridge between experimental theatre and popular culture. It creates a radical cabaret where texts, movement, and objects work, and improvised music and songs alternate with music by Tristan Macé.
